At age 42, I’m fairly proud that I am still tattoo-less. However if I wanted to have a field day with this topic, I’d take my camera to Water World, which is like Bad Tattoo Valhalla.

Wasn’t that actually the premise of Frank Miller’s sequel “Dark Knight Strikes Again”? Lex Luthor’s holographic US president ends human reliance on fossil fuels by hiding Superman somewhere in a hamster wheel? It’s been awhile.

You absolutely have to include Nike/Air Jordan on this topic. They put out old version of shoes at modern price-points, and among other things, their fanbase will actually kill another person to steal their shoes.

That hat/shirt combo in the twitter pic is so 1997.

Ooooh boy, I been to that one. Except groom had to sit in a chair while bride sang him a song. It was so off-key/outta-tune, after a few verses, people started clapping.... and then came another verse. People clapped after that one too. ...then came another. Groom wears goofy-ass grin the whole time - or maybe he was…

I was in a band with a guy who, after gigs if we went out to eat, would always order the chicken-fried steak. I think we were together in the band over two years before one particular night, when he and another bandmate get into this conversation about diets; chicken-fried steak guy says he doesn’t eat red meat. We…

(Raiders fan here) I don’t think it has to do so much with the stadium as it has to do with the fact that the Niners built their stadium first (albeit, a terrible one), and that they debuted a black uniform variant this year.

I think, as a person who works at a university, this sentence did not get the love it deserves:

Local A’s fan here, and all the sports radio guys (on A’s station) are wondering why the hell the A’s brass can’t figure out how to do this game. Call up Zito, but a week after his minor league season/career was over, call him to replace injured started, tell him he’ll only be reliever.

Beast Mom!

While I own a Chromecast but don’t use it that much, I’m more shocked that letting your party guests add whatever they want to the music playlist is an acceptable thing nowadays. Then again, I’m over 40 and I own vinyl records, so it’s probably just me.

This story makes a guy think the XFL wasn’t such a bad idea after all. At least Vince McMahon is upfront about being ‘sports entertainment’.

At first I didn’t really get it either, my kid does the same thing. But I realize Minecraft is sorta the “perfect storm” for this watch-then-play behavior - if you don’t know what to do, watch other kids do it on YT and learn that way.

Take more pictures.

Maybe they didn’t take it apart all the way, and there’s some Mexican drugs in there.

Kids these days - using spray paint against a house??? As the son of a licensed painting contractor, I would kick them off my lawn so hard, they’d shiver with fear from my judgmental finger-waggling.

This was great. I loved seeing the different jeepneys in Ortigas, rode one a couple times. Now you should do the custom trikes that are like cabbies.

I kinda stopped reading at “as a blog writer of sorts on Facebook” - which of course, was the first sentence. I’m sure Susan’s FB blog has tons of comments from her friends, like “Great!” “So true!” “Thank you for writing this!” and other exclamation points.

It’s a tumblr reference.
